520    "The New Blackwell Companion to Medical Sociology offers 
       insights into the substantive topics of central interest 
       in medical and health sociology. Coverage ranges from 
       standard subjects such as theory, health and social class,
       racial and gender stratification, stress and health 
       professions, to relatively new and engaging topics like 
       bioethics, genetics and society, newly emerging infectious
       diseases, and links to neuroscience."--Jacket
